Staal breaks out of offensive slump

Share this:

I‚Äôve been to a lot of games in my lifetime but last night‚Äôs Penguins 7-6 win over the Red Wings is near the top. Great up and down action that saw the Penguins come back from 5-2 and 6-4 deficits.

Jordan Staal broke out of his offensive slump scoring three goals and 1 assist. Last night was the best hockey I‚Äôve seen Staal play since his rookie year. He was skating with confidence and was a force in the offensive zone especially in front of the net. Staal set up Ruslan Fedotenko for the game winner in overtime.

Michel Therrien had a lot of line combinations throughout the game

Talbot-Crosby-Satan

Fedotenko-Malkin-Sykora

Cooke-Staal-Kennedy

Dupuis-Zigomanis-Godard

Those are the lines Therrien will likely go with against the Flyers Thursday night.
